We dismantle imposter syndrome with five practical tools shaped by lived experience, from naming the feeling to shifting from self-focus to service. Stories of interviews, tech glitches, and immigrant pressure show how progress, evidence, and purpose restore confidence.
• naming imposter syndrome to create distance
• redefining success as progress not perfection
• reframing failure as feedback
• building a brag file to store evidence
• normalising discomfort as a growth signal
• shifting from me to service in meetings and talks
• practical examples: frozen slides, shaky voices, immigrant expectations
• recap of five tools and how to use them
